Mounting issues after kernel update (2.6.25)

After installing the recent kernel update, mounting has gone haywire. When I put in a cd (in either of my 2 drives) it doesn't mount. In thunar, when I click on the cd drive, it displays this error:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sr0,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so.
I did dmesg | tail and I got this:
EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.

Also, when booting a few minutes ago, it was stuck on the "checking filesystems" for a few minutes, when it usually does that step almost immediately. I also couldn't mount an iso, this is what happened:
[root@eric-arch eric]# mount -o loop -t iso9660 /path/to/iso.iso /mnt/iso2
mount: could not find any device /dev/loop#
Note: I am not certain that it was caused by the kernel update, but that is the only thing I did to my machine before this started happening.
Please help asap because I need to do schoolwork which is on a cd.

jealma wrote:I know the solution to the /dev/loop-problem. The new 2.6.25 kernel has the loop device as a module. Please try a `modprobe loop`, that gives you a /dev/loop. I don't know whether that will be persistent after a reboot, so you may need to add "loop" to the modules-list in /etc/rc.conf.
That worked, but I still have other issues with cd mounting, so I downgraded my kernel for now.

Wireless issues after kernel update

Hi,
after I updated my kernel yesterday, I've been having some issues with my wireless. I'm on a dell inspiron 1545, using kde and I use the broadcom-wl driver form the AUR.
Anyways. After I did a system update yesterday, it would refuse to load the wl module. So I recompiled the driver and that was fine. But still my laptop refuses to use its wireless card. At first I just couldn't connect to any wireless, now the networkmanager just claims that my WLAN Interface is unavailable.
the output of iwconfig:
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:"" Nickname:""

but if I try to run 'iwlist eth0 scan' it states:
eth0 Failed to read scan data : Invalid argument
I'm not that experienced with wireless, so I did what https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Broadcom_BCM43XX says and some other pages I found on google. 'iwconfig eth0 up' doesn't have any influence.
As I said, before the upgrade it worked fine and I also had configured it as it is described in the link above.
thanks for any inputs,
tobi

[Solved] Overheating/fan/sensors issues after kernel updates

Hi all,
I realise there has been a bit of correspondence on this already. I'm after some advice for my specific situation:
1. My laptop is an acer aspire 5315. I has well understood overheating issues that arrise due to BIOS problems
2. Fan control and temperature reporting worked perfectly with kernel 2.6.30, stopped working with 2.6.31 - I assume due to the well documented changes made in that release. The temperature only seems to be read once - at boot. sensors never reports a change after that; if the temperature is cold at boot the fan never get switched on. Unfortunately this happens most often.
3. I tried setting the recommended kernel option (can't relocate the post now). It didn't help :-?
4. I have tried upgrading the BIOS but the distribution from acer is a windows executable (won't run under freeDOS) and I do not have windows installed on this PC (not game to try under wine).
5. I re-installed the old kernel from my pacman cache only to find that my wireless no longer works (fan works just fine though).
I'm now totally stumped :-/
I'd like to update my bios and go with the latest kernel but can't see a way without installing windows.
This might be fixed in an ubuntu kernel release (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … bug/453700) but I'd prefer not to do that switch... perhaps the same fix is coming to arch?
I'd accept having to pin the kernel to an earlier version but neet to get the wireless working.
help...
edit:
I've now managed to get the kernel backdated correctly (so that wireless works as well as the fan) by re-installing the kernel and firmware together.
Have configured pacman to igmore future kernel updates
If anyone has any suggestions on howto update my bios I'd be very greatful.

Hi,
Got exactly the same issue, after running for a while laptop justs goes off... going to try to regress kernel until issue is resolved
BIOS update does sound a bit extreme

Sound issues after kernel update to 3.4.2 HDA Intel SigmaTel STAC9200

Hi all,
after upgrading from kernel 3.3.8.-1 to 3.4.2.-2 my soundcard isn't working properly.
When I'm trying to chance the volume using amixer, the output is the following (sound volume does *not* change)
$amixer set Master 2dB+ unmute
Simple mixer control 'Master',0
Capabilities: pswitch pswitch-joined penum
Playback channels: Mono
Mono: Playback [on]
With 3.3.8 the output looks quite different (while the volume changes like it should be)
$ amixer set Master 2dB+ unmute
Simple mixer control 'Master',0
Capabilities: pvolume pswitch penum
Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right
Limits: Playback 0 - 31
Mono:
Front Left: Playback 9 [29%] [-33.00dB] [on]
Front Right: Playback 9 [29%] [-33.00dB] [on]
It seems to be with both kernels the same modules are loaded.

yes, the master volume bar in alsamixer is still present but the volume level is 0 and its not possible to change this. And as you said muting the master channel does not mute actual sound playback.
Switching back to linux 3.3.8 and all works fine.
I'm trying to specify the model in /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf listed here under Stac9200
http://kernel.org/doc/Documentation/sou … Models.txt
So far I have tried:
#options snd-hda-intel model=dell-m25
#options snd-hda-intel model=dell-m6
#options snd-hda-intel model=3stack
#options snd-hda-intel model=dell-m21
options snd-hda-intel model=dell-m26
No changes with the first 4. With modell=dell-m26, alsamixer shows only the PCM channel.
By the way, I'm using the Dell Inspiron 6400 Laptop.

Lost network after kernel update

Hi
I have lost my network after kernel updating the kernel [2.6.35.7]
I downgraded to kernel 2.6.35.6

Hi,
I'm just reporting that I had this issue today too. I rebooted my computer from Win7 to Arch64 and I was left without network. Also it doesn't work in windows after rebooting back. I thought that It is something with connection so I tried to recoonect cable and also tryied to swap it in switch/adsl gateway. It started working after several switches (not on 1st!) It looks like interface is repeating on and off. So I rebooted to Arch and it stops working again...
I fixed it by reinstalling kernel26 package. But it is strange because it works yesterday, last thing what I did with kernel and modules was update of gc nvidia drivers... I don't know when I updated kernel last time
I'm using same network driver as Karol - r8169
lsmod | less
mii 3826 1 r8169
I'm using this card as well. I upgraded yesterday and I can't get wireless with WICD. Windows and normal network daemon work fine. I use kernel26. What other info can I provide? If a bug report needs to be filed, would it be WICD, kernel26 or other?
Also, I forgot, but I'm not using normal Wicd, I'm using wicd-nogtk from AUR. Krychle, are you using this also?
Edit: I think this has to do with the python update. I updated wicd-nogtk and its good now. I am online.

Is there a fix for the wifi connectivity issue after ios6 update?

Is there a fix for the wifi connectivity issue after ios6 update?
Cannot connect to any wifi since update to 6.0.1
How do I get update to 6.0.2?
Will that even help?

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Date format Issue after HRSP Update

Hi,
We are faced with a strange issue after HRSP update was applied on our client system (upgraded from SAP-KE-30 to SAP-KE-36).
There is an outgoing interface which picks up all the the starters into the local government pension scheme and updates a B2A document. This is implemented via a z-program.
When we look at the out put after the interface has run for the vast majority of employees it shows their date of birth as 21.05.1968 when it should show it as 21051968. This only appears to have happen after the HRSP's have been applied.
No modifications have been made to the z-program. What could be the reason for this issue. has anyone faced such an issue post HRSP update?
Any pointers on how to further investigate and resolve the issue will be most helpful.
Regards

Hello Iside,
In this case we can try to reload the software on the BlackBerry Smartphone to make sure it is running the latest version and there are no issues with the OS on the device.
To do this we would need to back up the BlackBerry Smartphone. Please open the BlackBerry Desktop Manager and connect your device. Click on the Backup and Restore options and select Back Up. Please note the location where the backup is being saved as we will need to access it later to restore the BlackBerry Smartphone.
Once you have backed up your BlackBerry Smartphone please follow the link below to complete a clean reload of the BlackBerry Smartphone software.

Automatically build kernel module after kernel update

Hello. Everytime kernel is updated, my wifi drivers don't work. I need to use this to get my adapter working: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/8192cu-dkms/ .
After kernel update, I have to manually reinstall the package, so the kernel module gets rebuilt. Is there any way to make it automatic?

I noticed it, but your script doesn't run at all when I type `mkinitcpio -p linux`. And wifi still works after reboot. Same for graphics driver, it has a hook at shutdown, that rebuilds its module after kernel update, it haven't run too and graphics driver works. It's like 'mkinitcpio -p linux' does nothing to the system.

Automatic recompiling of kernel module after kernel update.

Hello everyone,
i tried to search for it but without success...
my question is - is it possible to set it up somehow that aur package would recompile after kernel update?
The package I would like to rebuild is rt3090 which is module for my wifi card. It is very annoying to rebuild it manually. I know that my fglrx module does it automaticaly but how to set it?
Thank all of you for any advise.

Thank you :-) It looks ok, I will try DKMS as soon as I get some free time. If there was any problem, I would tell you.
BTW: I use catalyst mainly because of saving energy management, which is of course better for my netbook. My card is too new to be fully supported by the opensource driver.
EDIT:
I solved the situation by upgrading my system, I tried in-kernel module rt2800pci. In the previous kernels it didn't work well with my crappy ralink rt3090 wifi card, but that's been improved :-) so I do not need rebuild the package anymore even because this module isn't compatible with newest kernel.
I also learnt how to write my own hook from archwiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mkinitcpio) so if the new module didn't work I would try it.
The final solution = replace module rt3090sta by rt2800pci.
Thanks! Arch has very powerful community :-)

[Solved] Can not build modules for VMware Player after kernel updates

I have a problem generating the modules for VMware Player after kernel updates. I am using VMware Player version 5.02 (without patches) and the softlink according to the Wiki.
When I start the installation of the modules from the GUI, the program just closes. Running vmware-modconfig in the CLI generates the following log file:

Interestingly, after deinstallation and reinstallation the VMWare Player works fine.
Any hint, what's going wrong?

Today, (Kernel 3.10.5-1, VMware Player version 5.02 with kernel patches) the modules could successful be generated from the CLI:
vmware-modconfig --console --install-all
Solved (somehow).

Exchange 2010 - Issues after rollup update installation.

Exchange 2010 - Issues after rollup update installation.
We are having issues since we installed SP3 Rollup updates 1, 2, 3, and 4.
Issue1 - People get an error messages constantly popping up when they access our webmail. The error messages are:
An unexpected error occurred and your request couldn't be handled. and
Your network connection is unavailable. Please reconnect and try again.
Issue2 - When I open the Exchange Management Shell I get the following error:
Failed to connect to an Exchange server in the current site. Enter the server FQDN where you want to connect.
Issue3 - We have been using third party software to filter spam email. It is installed on our Exchange server. Since the updates it has not been working and we have tons of spam coming through. I dont think that this issue is that important at the moment and
hope that it will be fixed after resolving issues 1 and 2.
We uninstalled all four rollup updates in hopes that everything would go back to normal but it hasnt. We still have the same issues.
Currently we are running Exchange 2010 SP3 on 2008R2 SP1.
Please help.
Thanks.

Hi,
Based on the description, you got the error below when you tried to accessed OWA after rollup update installation.
"An unexpected error occurred and your request couldn't be handled, and Your network connection is unavailable. Please reconnect and try again."
For this issue, I recommend you check the OWA virtual directory to see if "Redirect requests to this destination" is checked. If it is checked, please uncheck the option. Then please restart IIS service to check the result.
Open IIS Manager -> owa -> HTTP Redirect -> uncheck "Redirect requests to this destination:"
Best regards,

VMware player won't start after kernel update

Hi,
today I've updated to 3.9.6-1 kernel and all went good. So I wanted to start my vmware player to start a vm. Of course I've done the needed steps in the vmplayer wiki page to setup the new headers and stuff after kernel update for vmplayer. Also I've ran "vmware-patch -f" and ran trough. But still get an error when I wanted to start the player in the "/tmp/vmware-root/vmware-modconfig-11986.log":

Maybe it has something to do with the last filesystem update?
But I don't know what to do really and couldn't found anything on that.
thanks

sorry, found something now in another thread here. this fix works just fyi:

Elite Pro, CMSS-3D not working and other issues after driver update

DElite Pro, CMSS-3D not working and other issues after driver update <font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="4">Elite Pro CMSS-3D control (on I/O console)no longer controls CMSS-3D.
The only time it works is if the original drivers are installed from the installation CD.
ANY other drivers stop the control on the Elite Pro I/O console from having any effect on CMSS-3D.
Also at one time when I cotrolled volume, CMSS-3D(original drivers), EAX and Crystalizer from the Elite Pro I/O controls then I had on screen display of said control that was being moved(on I/O console).
Now regardless of what drivers are installed, there?are no longer any on screen indicators.
The indicators looked like the ones that show when using the remote controller.
Anyone have any ideas?

[Solved]Dell XPS13 ultrabook Xorg and Wifi issues after Kernel upgrade

I installed Arch on a Dell XPS 13 Ultrabook today, and most everything ran fine after I ran the initial upgrade -- but I held back on the kernel update from 3.1.3 to 3.3.7.
I just now updated the kernel, and now I can't start X, nor can I access the wireless card. For X, I get a "Fatal server error: no screens found" error, and I can no longer find wlan0 with iwconfig, although I can still see it with lspci.
I even tried downgrading the kernel to 3.1.9, but I'm still having identical issues.
What can I do to fix this, short of starting again from scratch?
